My Experience as Margot Robbie’s Body Double for ‘Barbie’: A Close Encounter

Unleash your creativity and transform her into a talking doll! Meet Emma Eastwood, a talented 26-year-old actress who experienced heartbreak before getting her big break as Margot Robbie’s body double in the eagerly awaited “Barbie” movie. Emma, who grew up in California and now resides in England, had been compared to Robbie in the past, but dismissed it as mere flirting. However, her role in the film has reaffirmed the striking resemblance.

Now, with her foot in the door, Emma is determined to impress Margot and secure a permanent position as her body double. “This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she excitedly revealed. On her first day of filming, Emma had an early start, arriving at the set at 6 a.m. Little did she know, life in plastic was about to become fantastic. “I was treated like a star during my initial days,” she confessed to The New York Times.

Emma effortlessly fit into Robbie’s costumes, eliminating the need for new outfits to be tailored for her. However, she did spend about an hour each day undergoing makeup to achieve the desired look. “I felt incredibly pampered,” Emma recalled, emphasizing that the first few days on set were intimate, with a limited cast and crew. She even had her own trailer, enhancing her sense of luxury. Emma had the privilege of wearing the exact same pretty-in-pink costumes as Robbie, as their measurements align perfectly. “No custom-made outfits were created for me,” she shared.

While Emma relished in this newfound attention, she was not privy to many details of the film, including the plot. Despite being Margot Robbie’s on-screen double, information regarding the movie remained shrouded in secrecy. Emma admitted, “I spent two weeks working on this film, yet I still have no idea what it’s really about. They did an exceptional job of keeping the plot under wraps.”

Stepping into her role meant embracing a world of uncertainty. “They never gave me any specifics about our activities on set,” Emma explained. “There were a few occasions where they alluded to the entire cast being present for significant scenes, but the details eluded me until I arrived on set.” This included performing scenes such as climbing a set of stairs with feet that appeared to ache, as seen in the trailer, or lying face-down on the ground for an hour. “When I finally got up, I felt disoriented, as though I had just stepped out of a wild party. I still have no clue about the purpose of that scene,” she revealed.

Despite being left in the dark, Emma considers it a great honor to be associated with the iconic Barbie brand. “Sometimes, I forget that I actually played Barbie—it’s mind-boggling,” she exclaimed. “I truly appreciate the immense significance of Barbie as a cultural icon, and I am beyond thrilled to contribute to her legacy.”
